    Tom you’re the master of the one way conversation, not many people could do that. You could have been a journalist or colour commentator, it feels natural and fluid, not forced and it leaves the viewer feeling engaged. Plus the music, gear, tone, comedy….. 👍🏽

    The joy in Homeskoolin is a chance to get a glimpse into your mind Tom. I can't ask Patrick Mahomes what he was seeing at the line or Lebron what he is working on with his jumpshot, but you give us unfettered access into a world we all dream about, yet never really see. Thanks Tom - this channel is amazing.

      Yeah this ⬆️. It’s nuts we now get guitar lessons, demos and insight from the best in the world (for free). Used to buy magazines, vhs concerts hoping for a blurb or a glimpse. Now we get a point of view perspective, weekly, checking out the fucking whizzer as you’re walking by it during rehearsal.

    Hi Tom, not even sure where to begin. Don't stop talking to us. You are the kind of mentor/friend every musician needs. Its not just technique, licks, chops, its so much more....its a great human being who is a great musician just sharing his musical life with us. What is there not to love. And about offering your guitars, don't stop, we love seeing great old instruments, you have always been upfront about your guitar flipping. It may sound weird, but you have been such a bright spot out here in rural Oregon, and i love you for it. Enough, i could go on ad nauseam.

    Tom, as the only channel on UA-cam I subscribe to, I think Homeskoolin is whatever you decide it’s going to be. I come back (again and again) for the music, wisdom, humour and (most importantly in our sometimes fkd world) the honesty …..which shines through in your music, wisdom and humour. Only change if you want to…..dealer’s choice.

    This is great! Loved the full circle conversation about HW being an alien and following little to nothing from his past, to you saying guys who do all these chops, but have no feel. For me much of the influence and feel comes from the foundation, I came from studying the ones before me. Using that confidence to branch out. I am sure there are many ways to get to the bullseye. To me it is very interesting how you, and others approach this. This was a stellar video my friend and has really got me thinking. Thanks so much for what you do!

    I doubt anyone is going to find a more meaningful source of real world guitar playing information than 🤟the modest session man, Tom. One can learn more in one sentence from Tom than you might otherwise in a lifetime in regard to the pursuit of everything guitar - if one will only, listen. Certainly no one that I have ever seen enjoys playing and living everything music more. Home skoolin is a totally unique and genuine endeavor. All that said, the spontaneity of the channel is a great part of the overall charm of the channel. May it rock on and on !
